Hey everyone! I just got back from my much needed holiday so I'll try to get some posts up. (As I'm typing I've been awake for 37 hours straight, but still going strong)
P.S. All of that without caffeine!
P.P.S. On artificial intelligence and bureaucracy in general: Humans, considered a pragmatic race in the eyes of others, have often used artificial intelligence to further their progress. Some of the more spiritually inclined races however, think it is a gross violation of the sanctity of life and the purpose of the universe. Eventually tensions got so high, with humans and others producing so many AI, especially during the war, that several governments threatened to drop out of the war with the Davultan if the G-CoS wouldn't criminalize AI. The Galactic Court for sentient rights debated the issue, and in the end passed the AI-amendment, making them into law:
1. The production of artificial intelligence (the statement then goes into detail about the definition of AI), is prohibited henceforth.
2. The Artificial Intelligence can not be faulted, and can thus not be subject to accusation, for being produced.
3. Like any 'organic' citizen, a synthetic child will receive citizenship rights it is entitled to under the law of the place of birth.
4. The parent(s) of the synthetic citizen will not be convicted, if there is reasonable proof that they broke part 1 of the AI-amendment out of a reproductive instinct or paternal feeling or out of force.
5. Selling goods and services to facilitate the production of AI is illegal.
This satisfied both parties, as it allowed enough loopholes to still make some AI, but pushed the moralistic agenda of the spiritualists, nevertheless, AI are either a normal or a gross thing depending on who you ask, and opinions probably differentiate inside of races and groups, as it is still a hot political matter.
